Description

Døre kl 19/ koncert kl 20

ALICE byder på en helt særlig aften, hvor eksperimenterende lyd og globale traditioner flettes ind i hinanden. New Yorker-bandet 75 Dollar Bill byder på minimalistisk trancerock med afstikkere til både Mellemøsten og Vestafrika, mens indonesiske Rully Shabara (Senyawa) leverer dybt originalt punk-epos omfavnende hele den menneskelige civilisation. DJ Et levende menneske står bag pulten på aftenen.

“[A] gloriously mind-frying, ritualistic splatter of Zen blues and Arabic and African music-influenced riff-rock repetition” - The Observer

“Best band in New York City? Best band in the USA? Best band in the universe?” - Aquarium Drunkard 

75 Dollar Bill er på mange måder et rigtigt New Yorker-band, og samtidig er de deres helt egne. Et band, der spiller en minimalistisk og tranceskabende blanding af no wave, kosmisk blues og ørkenrock med kraftige nik til både vestafrikanske og mellemøstlige traditioner. Og et band, hvis skrabede blanding af blues-guitar og skramlet percussion - med en stor kasse af krydsfinér som den primære rytmiske rygrad - har begejstret både publikum og kritikere. 

Guitaristen Che Chen og percussionisten Rick Brown er begge garvede musikere på New Yorks musikscene. De fandt i 2012 sammen om projektet 75 Dollar Bill, og især deres 2016-udgivelse   “WOOD/METAL/PLASTIC/PATTERN/RHYTHM/ROCK” (Glitterbeat) gjorde dem til et brandvarmt navn på den alternative musikscene. Året efter gæstede de Roskilde Festival med en stærk koncert, hvor Undertoner bl.a skrev: “75 Dollar Bill fik skabt en fin variation igennem koncerten, på trods af faren for at det ville blive en meget monoton oplevelse. Og det var skønt, for så kom deres glimrende hypnotiske klange i fokus frem for tristessen. Jeg blev i hvert fald fanget i en herlig trance.”

I sommers udkom så opfølgeren i form af dobbelt-albummet “I Was Real”, en udgivelse, der også modtog strålende anmeldelser. Bl.a. skrev Uncut: “These are ageless, thrillingly energised devotionals for our secular and fast-moving times, full of euphonious noise and the dust kicked up by their deep-dug grooves.”

Til december lufter bandet så det nye album på ALICE. Her medbringer duoen kontrabassist Andrew Lafkas, og mon ikke trancestemningen fra Roskilde Festival-koncerten genskabes. 

Zoo

Den karismastiske indonesiske vokalist Rully Shabara, der herhjemme har givet flere fabelagtige koncerter med duoen Senyawa, gæster ALICE med det ikke mindre overrumplende projekt Zoo. Bandet har været bannerfører for punk og alternativ rock i Indonesien, men har med tiden udviklet sig til et mere konceptuelt kunst-projekt, dog uden at den punkede nerve er forsvundet. Som i Senyawa formår Shabara nemlig at skabe en højst original blanding af traditionel indonesisk musik, heavy metal, free jazz og meget mere. Men her tilføjet en konceptuel ramme, der omhandler intet mindre end hele den menneskelige civilisation - fordelt over værker, der kredser omkring bl.a. sprog, religion, teknologi og arkitektur. Således har Shabara til formålet opfundet sit helt eget sprog, som har sin egen online-ordbog. Han har også skabt en fiktiv religion med egen bog skrevet på det fiktive sprog. Det kan lyde tørt, men tag ikke fejl - live er Zoo et både bizart og besættende bekendtskab. Og vi kan uden tvivl love, at du aldrig har set noget lignende.          

In English: 

Formed in 2012 in New York City by percussionist Rick Brown and guitarist Che Chen, 75 Dollar Bill created quite a stir with their 2016 album “WOOD/METAL/PLASTIC/PATTERN/RHYTHM/ROCK” (Glitterbeat). An album which The Observer called: “[A] gloriously mind-frying, ritualistic splatter of Zen blues and Arabic and African music-influenced riff-rock repetition”. Played on a deeply resonant plywood crate, Brown’s earthy, elemental rhythms are both the foundation and foil for Chen’s ecstatic, modal guitar style. The duo’s electric, richly patterned music can shape shift from joyful dance tunes to slowly changing trance minimalism, an uncategorizable hybrid which draws on the modal traditions of West Africa, India and the Middle East, early electric blues, Sun Ra’s space chords and the minimalist and No Wave histories of their hometown. While Brown and Chen are always at the band’s core, the duo frequently expands into other configurations live and on record, from trio to 25-piece marching band. At ALICE they will perform in a special trio formation of the band features long-time collaborator Andrew Lafkas on upright bass. 75 Dollar Bill performed at Roskilde Festival in 2017 where they were hailed by critics for their trance inducing performance. Earlier in 2019 they released the acclaimed double album “I Was Real”

Indonesian vocalist Rully Shabara is a well known face in Denmark, where he has played several incredible shows with his duo Senyawa. In December we’re looking forward to present yet another mind expanding project of his: the quartet Zoo. Started as a noisy fast paced band with punk attitude in 2005, Zoo began to shift the music to become more conceptual and added lots of tribal and traditional feel into the heaviness in the second and third album, creating new and undefined Indonesian rock music. The band now is evolving to become an art project that will end by the year 2025. Each album represents each element of civilization, from language in Prasasti (2012), architecture in Samasthamarta (2015), and religion in Khawagaka (2018). Zoo invented its own language system and writings as well as a fictious holy book written in that language called Khawagaka (Six Teachings). If that may sound abstract, don’t worry - Zoo is still a highly mesmerizing live experience and without doubt they will deliver a show out of the ordinary at ALICE!
